MEDIA ADVISORY

The Nellis Support Team and Las Vegas Country Club Join to Honor Nellis and Creech Airmen on July 4th

In recognition of their service to our country, approximately 75 Airmen and their families have been invited to a special 4th of July day of festivities at the Las Vegas Country Club. The annual event features a number of activities for both adults and children, a holiday-style cookout and one of the Valley's best firework displays.

The Air Force will also have a physical presence at the event. Visiting from Creech Air Force Base, a non-working model of a Predator MQ-1B remotely piloted aircraft will be on display outside the clubhouse, along with a 799th Security Forces Squadron Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected, or MRAP, armored vehicle.

Finally, members of the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds will be on hand to meet and greet people attending the 4th of July event. Although their jets have been grounded due to sequestration, the Nellis AFB-based team has been active in the Southern Nevada community, fulfilling their role as 'America's Ambassadors in Blue.'

Interested media are invited to talk to select Air Force personnel during the morning setup of the Predator model from 4:30 to 6 a.m., and again during the event -- from 6 to 9 p.m., by prior arrangement with 99th Air Base Wing Public Affairs at (702) 652-2750, or 432nd Wing Public Affairs at (702) 404-1618.

WHERE: Las Vegas Country Club, 3000 Joe W Brown Dr Las Vegas, NV 89109

WHEN: Thursday, July 4, 6 p.m. - 9 p.m.

This event is NOT open to the public.
